Looking to add a bit of power to my Saxo Westcoast - saw this item - looks promising, going cheap. Will it add power?

no it wont add power all they do is up the fuel pressure to the fuel rail and injectors

they are only needed when heavey engine mods take place, then you will need to up the fuel pressure as the engine will gag for more fuel and will want more

no mate if you enigne has not been tunned at all then it will just either remove any small flat spots and just make your fuel dissappear quicker.

from the seller

"it should fit your saxo and it gives a 15-20 percent increse so it will put your saxo to about 100-110 bhp thanks for looking"


didt want to waste my money on somthing that doesnt work but if it can add bhp then i will buy it my saxo needs a lot of work doing to it.

I'm now expert when it comes to marketing and laws, although I do work for John Lewis, lol! Surely, even though it's on-line, similar trading standards must generally apply. The trouble is, Ebay is not like an on-line shop, as much of the items being sold are used and from people who are not sellers who require a licence.

I guess they can get away with it I'm afraid...

i see what your saying. if its second hand i suppose the person selling could make anything up

Toad

Possibly. It's all down to trading standards. I suppose it would be practically impossible to police something like Ebay in the same way normal shops are...

its not peoples stupidity! its the fact its covered daily, ok for a relitively new person to tunning they may be very nieve, but a simple looking on the forum will find many threads that will mean you dont need to keep creating them daily.
